Immunity

From across the pond...

My comment: Excellent explanation of immunity and Covid-19 thoughts. All you hear about is wearing masks, Social distance, huddle inside. All I see is People not wearing masks, Grandparents caring for Grandchild so the parents can work. It’s like a virus  in a blender. Mixing, mixing. Pharma wants a vaccine so badly. Yes, the “T” word is a derogatory slang word in USA. Almost can’t post this because of that but the rest is so informative!

FYI:

Friday Night Musik

Once again, Fred finds a Stellar Musik Choice for my weekly pick. This week, my new obsession, this Wonderful Band named Tuba Skinny. Out of New Orleans with a Classic Ragtime feeling. I closed my eyes and thought I was listening to an old 78 rpm record . Please send them a donation and buy their music 🎶 Laura was a unkind visitor to Louisiana and the devastation is extensive. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Please tip the Band!

Meela has been busy on the porch. This week she seemed uncharacteristically afraid. Turkey Vultures flying over, resting on a snag, casting large shadows.

8.22.20 Addendum: on second glance and consulting Cornell’s guide, I believe these are Black Vultures, not Turkey Vultures.meg

Follow this blog ⬆️ Always interesting 🧐 

My comments:

So very interesting. Needs much more exploration to properly identify the Reasons for this phenomenon they observed. They leaped right into cardiovascular effects, cancer effects, early detection of disease progression, decreased disability. I think it’s much more complicated. Personally, I Don’t want to burden people closest to me, including some Doctors I have had. I distanced from them. I see their sadness, sympathy, sorrow at every loss. Reflecting my oh so gradual decline. Fear all around. Every day waking up and wondering what is broken today. Distant friends, mine are worldwide. It’s not just information we share, it is the misery, pain, frustration with an incurable Disease you really can’t describe properly to your closest loved ones. Early in my diagnosis I began corresponding with a woman in Holland. She was severed disabled and we had a group of bloggers. She was always encouraging and we never talked cardiovascular meds or cancer screening. She told us her day from what her husband made for supper and her personal care details we wanted to know. Even as a nurse of many years, it was all forgotten when I needed help. Even Close friends often don’t discuss Incontinence or not enough money to pay for meds and housing. But I can talk to a friend on the web about it and feel free to be honest.

Who Knew? #Gadolinium

Just as I am about to post some cat photo or a poem or factoid, 

Another Grim Article pops up 😳 

Yes, Demon #Gadolinium is deposited In victim’s brains. 

And somebody knew this. 

Yes, I am not happy about this. 

🧠As of 2017, 87% of radiologists “were aware of the phenomenon of #gadolinium deposition in the brain.”
